This wasp is about 15mm and was wavering near the ground as if looking for a good place to digg. It looks like a Larra anathema to me but I may be quite wrong. Thanks, Joaquim Gaspar Lisboa Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [170.92Kb] |

"When white tergal bands are marked and large, then only kirbii is possible. When bands are weaker, than lividocinctus is also possible." Prionyx cf. kirbii . It could be P. lividocinctus.. Christian will confirm... |

I think this one belongs to the same species though the bands in the abdomen are a little different Joaquim Gaspar Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [190Kb] |

and another genus... it's Sphex sp. The first is OK, Prionyx kirbii. |

I may confirm both, a female of P. kirbii above and a female of Sphex sp. above. Most probable it is Sphex funerarius, but may also be S. flavipennis. Regards, Christian |
